An Age a Month

3 Years (Again) Part 2

Lord it has been awhile hasn't it. First off thank you to everyone who continues  to read and support my work 💕 I really appreciate it xx

Since it's lockdown I've had inspiration to continue writing.

Sorry it's been so long but with uni and work i found little time to write.

Here's to hopefully actually finishing the story 😂

3rd POV

The rest of the team ran their respective lions, Shiro holding back.

"Keith still flies black, you guys go ahead."

Hunk, Pidge and Allura nodded before continuing to their lions. Shiro presses the communicator.

"Keith, we need you." The communicator stayed quiet for a minute before Shiro could hear Keith's voice.

"Lance please, I promise I'll be right back. I need to help the team"

Shiro could hear Lance protesting. He must have aged up he thought.

"Keith??"

He was met with silence. Shiro paced around the control room. Should he attempt to fly black again? She responded to Keith, he's the black paladin now.

The voices of the other paladins screamed through the communicators.

"Umm... guys we could really use some help out here!" Hunk voiced.

"There's too many of them, if Keith can't leave Lance then ... Shiro you need to fly the Black lion!" Allure said.

Shiro hesitated, something in the back of his mind was nagging at him not to get in the lion. His thoughts we interrupted by Coran running until he room.

"Lance aged up, we learned something new about his past. Keith won't be able to leave him."

Shiro nodded. "I fly black and help the others."

"Are you sure that's a good idea? We still don't know anything about what keeps happening to you." Coran said resting his hand on Shiros shoulder.

"Maybe Black can help and the Galra are here we don't have much choice."

Shiro ran to the Black lion. The shield remained up.

"Black please I know something weird is happening to me but I need to help the team. I need to protect them."

The lion's shield stood, the lion almost looking apologetic. Shiro cursed before pacing in front of the lion. The cries of his fighting teammates could be heard through his helmet, he had to get out their to help.

Shiro turned quickly and ran to Coran and Keith.

"Black won't let me in, you have to go." Keith looked up from a now three year old Lance, who held onto his jacket tightly.

Coran gently took Lance's hand.

"Keith needs to go out and help fight my boy." Lances eyes quickly filled with tears but seemed to understand. "I'll be right here with you I promise."

Keith knelt down in-front of Lance. "I'll be back before you know it."

Lance threw his arms around Keith's neck, hugging him tightly. Keith hugged back immediately, before pulling away he heard Lance mumble in his ear.

He smile and ruffled the child's hair. "Love you too" he whispered back.

He stood up and nodded at the Shiro and Coran. "Shiro you can't stay here with them..." Keith trialed before Coran placed a hand on Keith's shoulder.

"I'll make sure he's in his room." Keith have Lance in last look before taking off to his lion.

Shiro, Coran and Lance headed to the end bay where a pod was pulled up.

"It's the only way to guarantee Lance is safe." Shiro said.

"Are you sure?"

Shiro nodded as Coran typed in the instructions for the pod. Only himself or Allura could open the pod again to release him.

Lance stood by Corans side. Shyly watching Shiro but standing behind Corans leg. Just in case, he knew something was up.

Unfortunately he was right.

Just as Coran finished and the pod pulled up, Shiro gasped in pain and clutched his forehead. Coran pulled Lance behind him quickly.

"Shiro you need to get into the pod."

Shiro eyes turned black.

"No" his voice was low and rough. "You do"
